Thanks guys! Years ago I had a couple of friends living across the other side of the city. They didn't have a phone so we used to write to each other all the time. It was really fun. Tried doing something similar with a blog a year or so back, but it's just not the same!

Frank - I believe a handwritten blog is called a 'diary' or 'journal' :)

Thanks for the PDF eay -- I'll update the post.

Rover -- I'll see what I can do, but once these things are out there under CC licenses, anything can happen. Re: the blue stuff, I don't put it in... I'm paranoid about getting stuck in my dunny and having to drink the water!
